TERMINATOR 2: JUDGMENT DAY

• Continuity: When the T-1000 first arrives, he checks John's record via the computer in the police car. It lists his age as ten and his birth date as 2/28/1985, placing the movie's events after 2/28/1995. However, when the T-800 is asked by John who sent him, he replies: "You did, 35 years from now". As he is sent back from 2029 it would place the events in 1994. Later in the movie, when they are leaving the gas station, the Terminator tells Sarah Connor that in three years Cyberdyne becomes the largest supplier of military computer systems, and we learn that Skynet goes online on 8/4/1997, an information that confirms his earlier statement, but contradicts with the data shown on a Police computer.
  
• Continuity: The Terminator jumps his Harley off a ledge down into a ravine. In the first shot of the jump, the ledge he jumps from is pointed. In the next shot, it's flat.
  
• Revealing mistakes: Steam throttles clearly visible when the Terminator throws the biker onto the stove.
  

• Continuity: When the Terminator gets stabbed in the biker bar, at first it appears to be just above the nipple (and you also see the knife bend). In the close up shot the knife stabs him right on the nipple, then when he walks up to the biker he threw onto the cooker the stab wound is several inches below the nipple.
  
• Continuity: In the mental institute the Terminator pushes a woman by her face, she slides towards the bars then stops by an opening on the right. When the T-1000 slowly walks up to these bars you can see the same opening on the right but the woman has gone, then when the T-1000 starts running and shooting the woman is there again.
  
• Continuity: The Terminator's cigar burn disappears for some scenes.
  
• Continuity: When the Terminator snatches the shotgun, it takes its hands off it twice.
  
• Continuity: When the Terminator takes the lever action shotgun away from the bar owner the cocking lever has an oblong opening that closely fits the Terminator's hand. Later, when the Terminator is shooting one-handed while riding the motorcycle the opening of the cocking lever is larger and more rounded, allowing him to twirl it around and cock it at the same time. However, when he and John pick Sarah from the mental hospital the cocking lever changes back to its original oblong shape.
  
• Factual errors: When Sarah is locking a laser target on Miles Dyson the spot stays steady. When the camera is on Sarah she is moving the gun. Even a slight deviation of an unsecured targeting site would shift the red spot greatly. In order for the spot to remain in one place the gun would have to be absolutely stationary, and if being held the shooter would have to be rock still.
  
• Continuity: The size of the wall the truck cab crashes through.
  
• Revealing mistakes: The tanker crashes through the remains of the helicopter then the armored SWAT van, yet the front grille remains in perfect condition until the minor collision when it shunts the "Shead truck".
  
• Incorrectly regarded as goofs: When the T-1000 is in the helicopter chasing Sarah, John and T-800, he re-loads his gun. He uses both of his hands to re-load, and there is a third hand clearly visible controlling the joy stick for the helicopter. He simply grew an extra arm to fly the helicopter. In fact, he has four arms in the scene, all of which are clearly focused on in shot.
  
• Continuity: During the escape from the mental institution, the T-1000 fires 26 shots from a pistol that can hold no more than 13 rounds.
  
• Continuity: When the Terminator steps out of the elevator to face the swat team at the Cyberdyne building, his grenade belt is in a different position.
  
• Continuity: Sara's hands when she is doing the chin-ups.
  
• Audio/visual unsynchronized: John's bike's throttle sound doesn't match the throttle action.
  
• Revealing mistakes: In the Escape from Pescadero scene, when John and Sarah and the Terminator board the elevator, the T-1000 pries open the doors and is about to walk in. The T-101 then blasts his head open with a shotgun. We are briefly shown a clip from a behind the T-1000 camera angle, and before the shot is fired, we can distinctly see the inside of the model head used for the shot. When the shot is finally fired, the head precedes to pop open to generate the effect of being blown up.
  
• Continuity: When the truck lands in the canal both windshields pop out, but later during the chase they're both in place, albeit cracked.
  
• Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When the hospital guard claims to get a full house on his coffee cup, you can clearly see 2 Jacks and 2 Aces around the cup and a black Queen of diamonds on the bottom. He'd need another Jack or Ace for a full house.
  
• Continuity: The T1000 fires rounds into the Terminator's back, but the damage to its jacket disappears when he is thrown through the window. Director James Cameron said the scripting of this sequence at the time of filming was different.
  
• Revealing mistakes: The red car wrecked at the beginning of the bike chase was already severely damaged.
  
• Crew or equipment visible: Camera in protective box visible on the side of the truck.
  
• Factual errors: After the T-1000 crashes the tow truck into the canal bridge, we see fuel leaking and a battery cable swinging in the wreckage. The sparking cable is shown to ignite the fuel causing the truck to explode. The tow truck runs on diesel, and diesel wouldn't explode like this.
  
• Factual errors: When you choose the German audio track on the DVD, at the scene at the very beginning, where the T-1000 goes to the police car and checks the entry for John Connor in the police database, the query-screen shows Sarah Connor as his mother, father unknown. In the German audio track they added a acoustic announcement from the computer which says "John Connor... Mutter und Vater unbekannt" which means "John Connor... Mother and father unknown.
  
• Crew or equipment visible: The camera and a large stage light are reflected just above the tow-truck's grille as the camera pans upward to show the T-1000 through the battered windshield.
  
• Revealing mistakes: Sparks emerge from the truck before it scratches the wall.
  
• Continuity: Position of John's bike as it is run over.
  
• Continuity: The Terminator cocks the shotgun just before the tire rolls out of the fire, yet when talking to John in the next scene he removes a spent shell.
  
• Continuity: At the car park where the Terminator and John have a talk, the automatic pistol is (un-)cocked.
  
• Incorrectly regarded as goofs: At the playground, when Sarah desperately tries to warn people, the shockwave blasts everything (even the charred flesh from the bones) but the little horse on a spring in the background doesn't move at all. Since this is a dream sequence, it doesn't have to obey the laws of nature.
  
• Continuity: The location of the pistol that the Terminator places on the ground.
  
• Continuity: Blood on floor during Sarah's escape from hospital.
  
• Continuity: When the Terminator's arm gets caught in the gears, he severs it below the elbow to escape and continue fighting the T-1000. Towards the end of the fight, when the Terminator is crawling towards the grenade launcher, the damage is well above the elbow.
  
• Crew or equipment visible: When the T-1000 is about to kill the security guard in the mental institute a crewmember is reflected in of one of the vending machines.
  
• Revealing mistakes: Obvious stunt double for Terminator when he cuts his motorcycle around behind the cars after he sees John Connor for the first time in the freeway.
  
• Revealing mistakes: Obvious stunt double for Terminator when he crashes through the wall of the "clean room" to rescue Sarah Connor.
  
• Revealing mistakes: When T1000 is being dragged just after latching on to back of commandeered police car when escaping Pescadero, obvious dummy being dragged as police car rounds corner.
  
• Continuity: The Terminator's sunglasses get broken, and later the wrong side is shown to be damaged.
  
• Continuity: The distance between the bars on the gate that catch the T1000's gun.
  
• Continuity: The getaway car stolen from the gas station is broken into by smashing the side window. Later the window is shown intact but wound down.
  
• Crew or equipment visible: Camera lights reflected in glass in shot behind Dyson as Sarah Connor laser-scopes him.
  
• Continuity: John's watch shows times between 10:35 and 12:00 as he tries to ease Sarah down after she nearly kills Dyson.
  
• Crew or equipment visible: Camera and lower half of crew reflected in the T1000's sunglasses as it cruises through the fires in front of Cyberdyne.
  
• Crew or equipment visible: Camera crew visible reflected in the glass of the Cyberdyne lobby.
  
• Revealing mistakes: The tanker truck's front grille is already damaged before the Terminator destroys it with the grenade.
  
• Audio/visual unsynchronized: After Sarah beats up the creepy guard at the mental hospital and is running down the hall with the nightstick, the sound is of hard soled shoes, yet Sarah is barefoot.
  
• Continuity: In the shot where the T-1000 drives the truck off the street and into the canal to chase John Connor, the axle breaks down completely when hitting the ground. In the next shot the truck is stable again.
  
• Continuity: In the canal chase the trucks flat tire 're-inflates itself' as the truck blows up and before John and the T-800 ride off.
  
• Continuity: In the canal chase scene after the T-1000's truck goes under the bridge, you can clearly see the glass falling off of onto the ground, but in the next shot, the T-1000 pops up and knocks the glass out of the underframe.
  
• Crew or equipment visible: After Terminator has arrived from the future and is walking towards the bar, the camera is reflected in the small window in the door before he opens it.
  
• Continuity: Number of rounds left in teargas gun as the Terminator walks outside.
  
• Continuity: The SWAT truck loses a wing mirror as it crashes into the lobby, but it reappears later.
  
• Continuity: Before Sarah and the T-1000 begin shooting at each other during the SWAT truck/police chopper chase, the two vehicles are seen near a car that loses control and crashes. Later in the chase (before they pass the tanker truck) the same car is seen again, losing control and crashing again.
  
• Continuity: In the tanker truck/pick-up truck chase, after the tanker rams the pick-up and destroys the wooden shelter in the bed, you can see the Terminator turn the steering wheel right but the truck turns left instead
  
• Continuity: When the SWAT van crashes through Cyberdyne's front doors into the lobby, it comes to rest with the rear doors closed. When Sarah and John Connor enter it, it's in a different position and the rear doors are fully open.
  
• Continuity: The SWAT truck's left (right) back door is open as they escape from Cyberdyne.
  
• Continuity: The tires on the police bike change to knobby trials tires.
  
• Revealing mistakes: Obviously stunt double dressed in foil when the T1000 is hanging on the front of the helicopter.
  
• Continuity: The hole that the T1000 head-butted in the helicopter windscreen disappears and reappears.
  
• Continuity: The front of the helicopter is destroyed in the collision with the SWAT truck, and yet appears intact later.
  
• Continuity: When the truck tilts over on the bridge, its front window is thrown out and smashed. When we see the semitrailer pass by, the front window is almost intact and back in place.
  
• Revealing mistakes: Black sock covering real arm visible when mechanical arm crushed.
  
• Revealing mistakes: After the Terminator's mechanical arm is freed from the cog, his real arm covered with a black sock is visible under his leather jacket. The outline of a wrist watch under the sock is also visible.
  
• Continuity: Sarah shoots (and hits) the T1000 seven times with the shotgun. The T1000 shows five damage points, and only one of the missing two is explained by its morphing from Sarah's shape into the cop shape. The six shot placements after that morphing process are as follows: 1) chest (right side), 2) chest (center/left, 'heart'), 3) 'stomach', 4) right shoulder (hit point is only seen after next round), 5) right shoulder, high, 6) left shoulder. Possible explanation: First hit point already fully closes 'off screen' while Sarah is still shooting.
  
• Continuity: The watch on Sarah's right wrist.
  
• Continuity: When the tanker truck overturns in the foundry, one of the workers activates the alarm. Logically, the alarm would continue sounding for at least several minutes, if not indefinitely. But the alarm is never heard again beyond that shot, which only lasts a few seconds, even though the scene continues in the foundry for at least another ten minutes.
  
• Continuity: When the Terminator's arm is crushed in the machinery cogs, his jacket gets torn but a moment later it's not.
  
• Incorrectly regarded as goofs: Bullet holes are visible in the roof of the SWAT van when it crashes; these were from the showdown with the Terminator, not the later fight with Sarah and the T1000, which was confined to the back.
  
• Continuity: In the freeway chase scene between the Terminator in the SWAT van and the T-1000 in the helicopter, the bullet holes in the back door where Sarah is changes in size and position between cuts.
  
• Continuity: In the scene in the steel mill where the T-1000 stabs Sarah Connor in her right shoulder, then raises his right hand to form a metal point aimed between her eyes, there is a cut to a close-up of the T-1000, cocking his head to make a sinister face. His right arm, which should be raised up to make the metal point, is not raised at all. When it cuts back to another close-up of the T-1000, his right arm is raised to make the metal point.
  
• Continuity: SWAT back door handle disappears and reappears during the shooting scene between Sara and the T-1000 at the helicopter.
  
• Continuity: The Harley motorcycle moves five feet backwards at the mental institution's parking lot, right after the T-1000 start chasing the Terminator, Sarah and John.
  
• Continuity: The siren light of the police car stolen by The Terminator, Sarah and John at the mental institution's parking lot changed from all blue to orange and blue.
  
• Continuity: The T1000 smashes the head of the Terminator with the rolling girder clearly scraping the Terminator's flesh. There is no flesh or blood on the girder when he pulls it back.
  
• Incorrectly regarded as goofs: The color of the Terminator's T-shirt changes from black to pale blue/grey overnight as he stands sentry in the abandoned gas station. However, the bullet holes also disappear, which means it's a different shirt, probably one that was at the garage.
  
• Revealing mistakes: When John and the Terminator are in the phone booth, the damage to the phone is visible before the Terminator bashes it in. Possibly only visible in pan-and-scan version.
  
• Errors in geography: Shots of the canals and overpasses are out of sequence during the chase.
  
• Revealing mistakes: Obvious stunt double for John Connor in several shots during the bike chase, particularly when he cuts in front of the white truck.
  
• Continuity: During the liquid nitrogen tanker/pickup truck chase near the end of the film you can see in the close-ups that the Terminator is wearing his black gloves, but when the camera zooms out he's not wearing them on several occasions.
  
• Continuity: When Sarah is shooting at the T-1000 while the Terminator is backing up the police car, she initially fires 13 shots (more than her pistol can hold). In all subsequent shots during that sequence, she shoots only eight shots before she has to reload.
  
• Continuity: During the chase, the bridge explodes, but in the next shot it seems to be intact, above the flames.
  
• Incorrectly regarded as goofs: Sarah Connor tells the doctor she has been good for six months, and he agrees. Shortly before, he tells students that Sarah stabbed him in the leg with a pen only three weeks ago. However, he may have been agreeing with her to avoid confrontation, or he may have been exaggerating to the students.
  
• Revealing mistakes: When the Terminator spots John Connor and his pal on the motorcycle from above, he zooms in and freezes an image of John's face to confirm an identity match. The two kids must be travelling at least 30mph on the bike, yet the still image the Terminator takes of John on his moving bike shows his long bangs hanging in front of his face, as if there is no wind blowing against it, suggesting the image was taken separately, and not really while he was riding the bike.
  
• Revealing mistakes: John Connor grows visibly taller even though the movie takes place over two days (see also trivia)
  
• Revealing mistakes: When the Terminator shoots the T1000 from inside the lift and splits its head open, the T1000's head is already slightly split open before he shoots.
  
• Incorrectly regarded as goofs: In The Terminator (1984) the Terminator comes through the time port and his hair is that of the "molding" of all Terminator's. But in T2 when the Terminator comes out of the time "bubble" his hair is the same as after the car wreck scene in the first movie when he puts on the glasses. John may have modified him to look more acceptable to Sarah.
  
• Incorrectly regarded as goofs: When the Terminator is shooting the minigun at police cars in the Cyberdyne building, the ammunition belt does not feed into the gun. In this model (made by General Electric), what appears to be a belt is actually an enclosed feeder.
  
• Revealing mistakes: After Sarah encounters the Terminator for the first time in the hallway of the hospital, he throws one of the guards into the window; the actor is obviously replaced by a stunt double.
  
• Continuity: In the "Stand on one foot"-scene, when John gives the pistol back to the Terminator, it is correctly cocked, in the next shot, it's not, and in the next shot when he puts it in his pants, it's cocked again.
  
• Audio/visual unsynchronized: During a chase scene, the Terminator (on a Harley) passes in front of a Honda CRX that honks at him, but the sound is not that of a Honda CRX horn.
  
• Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): In the biker bar, the Terminator scans various people for body types and clothing matches. The body type descriptions do not always match the individuals he is scanning.
  
• Continuity: When Sarah carves "No Fate" into the desk, the tip of the knife curves toward her, then you see it facing away, then when John grabs it from the desk its tip is back toward him.
  
• Continuity: When the Terminator and John Connor are driving (via motorcycle) toward Pescadero to spring Sarah Connor, the same group of parked school buses is passed twice.
  
• Continuity: The T-1000 riding the police motorcycle crashes through the window, launching itself toward the helicopter. As it crashes through the window, the windshield of the bike comes off, seconds later it reappears on the bike when it falls to the ground.
  
• Miscellaneous: When the T-1000 and T-800 fight in the steel factory and the T-800's arm gets pushed into the giant cog, metallic silver paint can be seen on the glove from where the T-1000 pushed it, then when the camera pans away and then back to the arm the paint is gone.
  
• Revealing mistakes: When the Terminator jumps off the sliding liquid nitrogen tank, wires are clearly visible coming off him as he hits the ground.
  
• Incorrectly regarded as goofs: When Sarah makes her first shot at Dyson, the computer screen explodes at a different place from the laser sight dot, but between the silencer and the chances she hasn't calibrated precisely, it's not far off.
  
• Revealing mistakes: Before the T-1000 runs the Terminator through with the crowbar (in the steel-mill), the Terminator is dragging himself along with one arm. As you see the "stump" move forward and then back, you can see the string pulling it.
  
• Revealing mistakes: Obvious stunt double for the Terminator when he swings his bike around the T1000's rig just before grabbing John Connor off his bike in the tunnels.
  
• Continuity: The T-1000 jumps out of a window on the floor that was just blown up to get onto the helicopter, but he crashes through the unbroken window, when it is clear that all windows on that floor were broken in the blast
  
• Continuity: When John, Sarah and Terminator take the police car during the escape from the mental clinic, the number on the plate changes in the following shots from 999273 -> 999232 -> 999273 -> 999001 -> 999013 -> 999018.
  
• Continuity: At the ATM, John puts his backpack on his shoulders twice.
  
• Continuity: When the T1000 is driving the semi and jumps off the bridge, the windshield clearly falls out as it lands. The next shot shows the windshield intact with bullet holes.
  
• Continuity: When the Terminator is shooting at the SWAT truck from the helicopter, the bullet holes on the back of the truck keep changing, both in position and quantity, throughout the sequence.
  
• Continuity: When the Terminator first appears, there's a yellow sign on the truck behind him which disappears when the truck is "cut".
  
• Continuity: When Janelle goes outside to pick up the newspaper, it is wet from the sprinkler on the lawn. When she puts it on the kitchen table, the newspaper is dry.
  
• Crew or equipment visible: At Cyberdyne, the Swat Team Leader says, "OK, drop him," and they start shooting. In the background, on the left-hand side of the screen, one crew member wearing a white T-Shirt walks into shot and exits left. (Widescreen DVD)
  
• Continuity: In the arcade, John is apparently playing an expert game of Missile Command, but the score at the end of the game is only 400 points.
  
• Continuity: When Sarah is doing pull ups on her upturned bed, her arms are covered in sweat, but when the nurses kick her to the ground, all of her skin is bone dry.
  
• Continuity: The bullet hole Sarah puts in the windshield of the police car as she commandeers it is gone after escaping the mental hospital.
  
• Continuity: When T1000 is running after John in the parking lot, his holster is empty. But when John jumps the gate to get onto the street and T1000 jumps after him, he has a gun in his holster.
  
• Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Sarah tells Dr. Silberman that there are 215 bones in the human body. Newborns have around 270 bones, and many of these fuse together during aging, so there is some individual variation in the number of bones in an adult.
  
• Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Outside the biker bar, as the Terminator scans the motorbikes and then the car, the screen shows an identification of the car as a Plymouth when in actual fact it is a mid-1980s Ford LTD Crown Victoria.
  
• Crew or equipment visible: As the Terminator lifts John Connor off the dirt bike during the canal chase, you can see the stunt driver for the tow truck.
  
• Revealing mistakes: When the helicopter rises over the Cyberdyne building we should see the roof. Instead we see that the black glass front of the building is a flat facade with nothing behind it.
  
• Crew or equipment visible: Before the grenade launcher is fired at the police car parked outside the Cyberdine building, the explosive device attached to the car at the point where the grenade will "hit" is visible.
  
• Continuity: When the T-1000 first draws his gun in Pescadero it's on his left hip and in his left hand. Later when he morphs through the bars it's the right hand, and the holster on the right.
  
• Factual errors: The grenades used by the Terminator cannot detonate on impact as the movie shows. This is pointed out by James Cameron himself in the commentary.
  
• Revealing mistakes: During the fight in the mall corridor you can clearly see that the walls are already broken before the T-1000 is pushed through them.
  
• Revealing mistakes: When John and the Terminator arrive at the hospital, the Terminator breaks the glass to open the gate but you can already see where the glass will break.
  
• Revealing mistakes: Brief obvious stunt double for Terminator can be seen when he is thrown onto the floor by the T-l000 in the clothing shop when the two are fighting, and also just before the T-1000 flings him out the glass window.
  
• Continuity: When the Terminator and the T-1000 are both fighting in the hallway where they first encountered each other, they are seen banging each other into the walls, destroying them. However, the thin white wall already has a hole it that was not there in the beginning of the hall scene.
  
• Revealing mistakes: When the Terminator makes his infamous "slow-motion" land from coming off the road into the canal, the wires that support him are visible for a few seconds.
  
• Continuity: When the Terminator shoots the T-1000 down in the mall corridor, the T-1000 can be seen looking straight at the Terminator with his mouth closed. But in the next shot of him, he is seen looking at the ceiling and his mouth opened.
  
• Continuity: When Doug licks Sarah Conner's face when he is locking her in her bed, we can see Sarah's face change twice - first looking at the ceiling, then looking to the side.
  
• Crew or equipment visible: When the Terminator is backing up the police car through the Pescadero parking lot (right after the car's rear bumper hits the pavement, producing sparks) crewmembers can be seen in the background hiding behind cardboard boxes. (Widescreen DVD only?)
  
• Revealing mistakes: Safety wires clearly visible holding up the Terminator when he is catapulted into the factory by the tanker truck.
  
• Continuity: When Sarah wants to kill Dyson with her hand pistol, he is leaning on a marble table with some magazines on it and they keep changing positions
  
• Boom mic visible: John says, "Okay. Time out. Stop the bike." After that, he and the Terminator pull up into an alley and stop. After they stop, you can briefly see the reflection of the boom mic on the mudguard of the motorcycle's front wheel.
  
• Revealing mistakes: When the Terminator is stabbed in the bar, the prop rubber knife bends.
  
• Continuity: After the T-1000 is blown off the back of the police car, Sarah Connor reaches back to hug John. The slash wound from earlier in the elevator has disappeared, leaving only trace blood on her shirt.
  
• Continuity: The tow truck's front tire that the Terminator shoots out re-inflates itself when it crashes into the bridge.
  
• Revealing mistakes: When the T-1000 pulls the bar from his abdomen (right after the Terminator cleaves him in half with it), the shadow of the bar is visible on the T-1000's shirt the entire time even when stuck inside him.
  
• Crew or equipment visible: When the T-1000 is in Dyson's house, a crew member is visible in the reflection of its sunglasses as the T-1000 is listening to dispatch on the radio.
  
• Factual errors: When John is first escaping up the canal on his motorbike, he continually changes up gears more then the motorcycle he is riding would have. Everytime the camera switches back to him he changes up another gear and then revs it right out while continuing to speed up and doesn't slow down at all to need to be switching gears.
  
• Continuity: In the Cyberdyne building scene, the police motorbikes front fender is clearly on fire. Later scenes show the fender to be in pristine condition.
  
• Crew or equipment visible: Just before The T800 shoots out the tire on the truck there is visible a thick red rope/cable connected to the rear of the motorcycle seat extending up and off of the right side of the screen.
  
• Revealing mistakes: When Arnie is chasing John, he skids in front of a blue Ford, which swerves and two cars, including a yellow Jeep, smash into it. But a closer look shows, the cars are already damaged from previous takes.
  
• Audio/visual unsynchronized: When the police are massing outside CyberDyne, several officers level shotguns, accompanied by a cocking sound. However, they do not pump their guns.
  
• Continuity: In the flood control system chase scene, when The Terminator on his bike squeezes past the truck, the truck's left headlight is missing, but in the next shot as The Terminator grabs John the headlight has reappeared.
  
• Audio/visual unsynchronized: When the T-800 gets up after being thrown through the store window in the mall, a man is holding a camera and you can hear the shutter closing several times. However, the shutter is not seen to close, and the man does not have his finger on the shutter button.
  
• Audio/visual unsynchronized: When John is running from the T-1000 through the corridors of the mall, a man yells at him that he's not allowed back there. Later, just before the Terminators begin shooting each other, the man again yells. His lips do not move either time.
  
• Revealing mistakes: Obvious stunt double for the T-800 when he rides his motorcycle off the bridge and into the canal.
  
• Revealing mistakes: In the Pescadero scene, Sarah runs towards the elevator and stops as the Terminator steps off. When she turns to run around the corner, the striking tape can clearly be seen on the floor. (Visible only in 4:3 home video transfer.)
  
• Revealing mistakes: When the T1000 rides the police motorcycle up the stairs the tires have been changed to knobbies. The motorcycle ridden by the T1000 is a Kawasaki KZ1000P, not a Harley-Davidson as is commonly thought; the Kawasaki with its 1000cc inline-4 engine will obviously sound different from a 45-degree V-twin Harley, but this doesn't explain the transformation of the chassis and wheels.
  
• Continuity: As the Terminator is shooting at T-1000 in the truck (from above) during the canal scene you can see that the exhaust stacks disappear before the trucks roof is taken off by the overpass.
  
• Revealing mistakes: As the two Terminators grapple and throw each other through walls in the mall, the wall on the right hand side of the screen is visibly made of a thin paper, no more than an inch in thickness.
  
• Crew or equipment visible: When the T1000 is driving the truck after John on the city street, he plows through two cars stuck in traffic. We're shown a brief shot of the truck approaching them via a camera mounted on the side of the truck. If you look down the road, past the two cars, you can see a special truck with an open back, directly in front of the truck the T1000 is driving, with a camera and four crew members standing on the back of it.
  
• Revealing mistakes: Dyson was shot in the left arm. When they went to Cyberdyne he put his left hand into his pants pocket to support it. Later when they were upstairs in the lab he is holding and using a flashlight with his left hand. A moment later his left hand is back in the pocket.
  
• Crew or equipment visible: When police are entering the Cyberdyne building, for a brief moment, a reflection of a cameraman can be seen in one of the lobby's windows.
  
• Revealing mistakes: As the Terminator is catapulted into the steel mill, wires are clearly seen detaching from him as he hits the ground.
  
• Revealing mistakes: The Terminator has black lines around him when he is thrown into the steel mill, indicating he was superimposed in post-production.
  
• Audio/visual unsynchronized: When the T-1000 shoots his Beretta 92S pistol in the hallway of the mall, the reports are muffled and distorted as if suppressed, yet the pistol has no silencer attached to its muzzle.
  
• Continuity: After John and his friend steel money from the ATM, John says "come on" and runs off without taking the time to complete the transaction and retrieve the ATM (magnetic) card that's still in the machine. In the next shot, John and his friend are running together side by side with the computer neatly wrapped up in the cable with the card that he later uses again at the Cyberdyne building to get the vault key.
  
• Factual errors: Dyson has to go through what is supposed to be a "clean room" to get to the storage area for the chip and robotic arm. Clean rooms are not used as access routes. Nobody would be allowed to enter the room without proper gear, like the two workers are wearing. They are meant to protect either the workers from hazardous substances, or protect whatever they're working on from contamination. So "civilians" wouldn't be allowed to simply walk through.
  
• Continuity: In the get away scene from the mental institution, the T1000 crawls up behind the car, and smashes his hand through the back window. The hole it makes is suddenly smaller again in the next clip, and then it appears smashed again afterwards.
  
• Revealing mistakes: (At 02:20) In the opening battle, just as the explosion hits, a soldier can be seen running to the mound of dirt and stands up past the "matte" line and half his body disappears.
  
• Revealing mistakes: The computer John uses to take money from the ATM early in the film sports an Atari logo on the screen panel. When he uses it later to bypass Cyberdyne's lock down, a Sony logo is briefly seen on the back side of that same panel.
  
• Continuity: While the terminator is "taking care of the police", Miles and John go to get the arm and chip from the vault. After a long scene of the terminator fighting the cops, Miles and John finally arrive at the vault. How can it take them that long to get to the vault? The vault is located in the lab in the corner as seen earlier in the film when Miles takes the chip from the vault for a test.
  
• Continuity: When Terminator appears it's obvious the trailer was changed because the repair patches and caution sign on the right door have disappeared along with the license plate. Also, with half the left side tires destroyed, the trailer should be leaning at least a little.
  
• Audio/visual unsynchronized: When the Terminator grabs the guy in the yellow shirt, the guy says "ah ah get him off of me" but his mouth doesn't move.
  
• Plot holes: Added to the arm and the chip, the first Terminator also lost a leg, but no mention is made of that leg in the film.
  
• Continuity: When the T-1000 first enters the Mental Institute, he is not carrying his 9mm Beretta in his holster (the holster is empty). After assuming the form of Lewis the sheriff deputy, he takes his .45 Colt. Later, after reassuming his LAPD form, he is once again carrying the Beretta.
  
• Continuity: In the scene where the foster mother Janelle Voight asks her husband Todd for help in getting John to clean his room, Todd discards his cigarette into the ashtray in the room before going out to the garage to confront John. Immediately afterwards, Todd is outside as John takes off on the bike, Todd has a partially smoked cigarette in his hand, which he throws on the ground.
  
• Continuity: During the hallway shootout at Pescadero, Dr. Silberman is present as the T1000 gives chase. Silberman is visible in the background as the T1000 forces open the elevator doors, but when the T800 blasts open the T1000's head, we can see that Dr. Silberman has disappeared.
  
• Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Dr. Silberman is identified in The Terminator (1984) as a psychologist, yet in Terminator 2 Judgment Day (1991) he is seen in several scenes prescribing medication for patients, which only psychiatrists are licensed to do.
  
• Revealing mistakes: When the T-1000 is walking thorough the bar and is walking past the jukebox, there is a window where you can see the waitress waiting for her cue.
  
• Revealing mistakes: When the T1000 rides the motorbike up the stairs, tyre marks are left on the floor. If you look carefully in the scene when the swat team go up the same stair case you can see a tire mark on the floor. The swat team went up the stairs long before the T1000 rode up it.
  
• Continuity: While driving in the beat-up station wagon, when John is teaching the Terminator to be more casual in his speech (e.g. not saying "Affirmative"), John's right arm moves on and off his raised up knee between the point-of-view cuts.
  
• Factual errors: When the Terminator uses the M79 "Thumper" Grenade Launcher to blast open a door at Cyberdine he is only standing about 10 ft away from the door and it explodes magnificently. This is impossible as the 40mm HE (High Explosive) rounds fired from this weapon do not arm themselves until they have traveled 30 meters (approx 90 feet). So the round would have simply dented the door or punched a 40mm size hole in it depending on the material the door was made of.
  
• Factual errors: The detonator used at Cyberdine to blow up the labs had a black advanced looking electrical box with a claymore clacker (detonator) affixed on the top of it. The clacker has a black plug on the end that you have to open and connect your blasting caps or in this case the black box to by electrical wire. Throughout multiple shots you can clearly see that there are no wires attached to this and that the plug is also clearly closed.
  
• Audio/visual unsynchronized: John's dirt bike is a Honda XR series which have a vertical 4 stroke engine. In the movie the sound of the exhaust is that of a 2-stroke.
  
• Boom mic visible: When Sarah is approaching Dr. Silberman after she breaks out of her cell, as the camera pans around the corner to show him, a boom is seen above the doorway to the cage area. (This depends on transfer, though, because of the adjustable framing; it's visible on the original DVD and Ultimate Edition DVD, but not on several widescreen laserdiscs. It may be visible in the 4:3 transfer, but that shot is cropped more than opened up and if it is visible it would be in the overscan area.)
  
• Revealing mistakes: In the mental hospital when Sarah first meets the T-800, he throws a security guard into the barred window on his right. In the shot, the window he throws the man into is a different color and light tone to the other windows, revealing that it is made of a different material as part of the stunt.
  
• Continuity: When Terminator smashes the drivers side window of the station wagon some sections of glass remain in the window frame. In the next shot the glass is gone. (There is a scene similar to this in The Terminator (1984).)
  
• Incorrectly regarded as goofs: In the original movie we are told only living tissue can pass through the time portal, yet T-1000 is made of liquid metal. It is unknown how the T-1000 can travel back but it appears mimetic polly-alloy is an exception to the living tissue rule for time travel.
  
• Revealing mistakes: When the Terminator throws the orderly into the window the bars on the window break because they are clearly made of plastic.
  
• Revealing mistakes: After the tow truck blows up a wheel on fire rolls out. This wheel is obviously larger than the wheels seen on the tow truck.
  
• Revealing mistakes: The Terminator stabs a biker in the shoulder causing the biker to be stuck to the pool table. The knife is not long enough to go through the biker's shoulder and still stick him to the table enough that he would not be able to move at all.
  
• Crew or equipment visible: When the tanker truck knocks a car out of the way to catch up to the pick-up truck, a stunt driver's head can be seen popping into view in the passenger seat next to the T-1000.
  
• Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Terminator explains to young John Connor that the T-1000 can mimic anything it touches. When it mimics the guard in the institution, the only thing it actually touches are the soles of the guard's shoes, as it was hiding as a section of the floor. Since Terminator was reprogrammed by John in the future, he was likely given partial or incorrect information on the extent of the T-1000's abilities by accident.
  
• Errors in geography: When John is fleeing up the canal, he is obviously going "upstream". He takes a narrowing, converging fork and the canal gets smaller. When T-800 jumps the bike into the canal, he does it from a point that would be dividing the rushing water rather than converging it, hence, they are now inexplicably going "downstream". A flood control system NEVER diverges the water, it only collects it into bigger and bigger canals toward a common destination.
  
• Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): The Cyberdyne logo on the arm of the guard in the Cyberdyne building is incorrect. It has two black triangles and one silver where as the correct logo has two silver and one black.
  
• Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): (Extreme Edition only) When T-1000 visit the Dyson residence, he overhears on the police radio the dispatch ordering all available units to respond to the Cyberdyne Building and gives the address as "2144 Kramer St". In a later scene, as the police units are responding to the Cyberdyne Building, one of the officers asks the dispatch to repeat the address, she gives the address as "2111 Kramer St".
  
• Factual errors: Dan Stanton is credited in the film as playing "Lewis as T-1000". This is incorrect. It should be "T-1000 as Lewis" because the T-1000 is impersonating Lewis. Not the other way around.
  
• Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Sarah is being chased by the attendants as she tries to escape from the hospital, she goes through a glass door that she locks behind her just as the attendants get to the door. As she runs to the next door, the camera dollies back and we can clearly see that the "cell door" has a deadbolt that can be unlocked with a key on either side. Sara goes through the door, reaches through the bars, and breaks off the key. When the attendants get to the door, they say she "broke it off", but they could have simply reached around and unlocked the deadbolt from the other side.
  
• Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Dogs bark wildly when a Terminator is near; yet, at Enrique's ranch, there are dogs playing despite the Terminator being close by.
  
• Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): (Special Edition) When Sarah Connor is about to take the CPU from The Terminator he says "Do it", look closely at John Connor (Edward Furlong) on the left side of the screen, holding a light - he looks at the camera.
  
• Errors in geography: When the T-1000 crashes the truck into the canal, there is a light pole in the background that has a sign reading reading "Plummer Ave", however, the concrete bridge has the name "Havenhurst Ave" written on it.
  
• Crew or equipment visible: Camera is clearly visible in the elevator door when it closes as the trio escape the explosion at Cyberdyne.
  
• Continuity: The bridge that the tow truck scrapes its roof off on changes different sizes. First, the bridge is thin. Second, the bridge is thick. Third, the bridge is thin again.
  
• Plot holes: In the scene in the steel mill, T-1000 asks Sarah to call John although he could easily shut her mouth and imitate Sarah's voice.
  
• Incorrectly regarded as goofs: The T-1000 is not supposed to be able to turn itself into moving parts of any kind. But when it kills and replaces the hospital security guard, it has many moving parts before it takes the guard's gun - a keyring full of keys, a nametag with a clip, etc. However, these items are simply mimicked by the T-1000 and are not actually complex objects with moving parts.
  
• Revealing mistakes: After Sarah lowers the Terminator into the molten metal; John turns and hugs her revealing the "fake ear" plugs they wore for the shooting scenes.
  
• Audio/visual unsynchronized: In the scene where the T-1000 is torturing Sarah in order to make her call to John, the sound effect that is heard when the T-1000 delivers a left back-kick to the T-800 after being hit with the steel pole is a "sucking" sound rather than that of a hard impact.
  
• Continuity: After the T-800 receives extensive damage from the large gear and the steel girder, whirring motor noises can be heard from the motions of the T-800's body. These noises can no longer be heard after the T-1000 is terminated.
  
• Continuity: When the terminator's glasses are broken and it shows the wrong lens breaking it also shows the earpiece is hanging off on his right ear, but when it shows the view from farther away the earpiece on his left side is hanging off.
  
• Continuity: When the terminator is in the bar and asks the biker for the clothes, boots, and bike, you can clearly see someone who works for the bar in the kitchen. Before the other man tries to help the biker you can still see the worker, but when the pool stick is broken on the terminator's neck and the it shows the kitchen again, there is no sign of the worker and there is no way he could have left in half a second.
  
• Continuity: While the T-1000 is torturing Sarah with the spike through her shoulder,The T-800 comes up behind him and slams the bar through the T-1000's shoulder,separating it from his torso.Then the T-1000 kicks the T-800 and the T-800 is shown tossing the bar away only to cut back to the T-1000 who is now removing the bar from his waist by pulling it away from itself.
  
• Revealing mistakes: When the Terminator jumps the motorcycle into the canal, the concrete leap-off point changes from ending in a pointed tip to a square tip. It is not the same concrete landing.
  
• Factual errors: John and the the Terminator are changing the starter in Enrique's Ford Bronco, but they are installing the bolts vertically. The Bronco's starter bolts mount horizontally. A Chevrolet would have vertical bolts.
  
• Plot holes: After the T-1000 kills the police officer, he returns to his car and types in John Connor's name in the car data system which reveals everything about John including his current address. It was early in the night time when the T-1000 found this information yet he does not go to johns house till late the next day. What did he do for about 12 hours or more?
  
• Audio/visual unsynchronized: When T101 shoots cops and their cars with a revolver, the bullets in the chain aren't seen being processed into the barrel - in other words they are clearly not being shot.
  
• Crew or equipment visible: Shadow of the camera is visible when the grill closes on the Terminator after the opening credits.
  
• Plot holes: After the T-1000 kills the police officer, he drives the officer's car around for most of the movie. However, the original officer called in the disturbance created by the time rip. When he didn't report in, police dispatch would have called other officers to his location. Additionally, LAPD police cars had locater chips (an early form of Lojack) in the computer consoles. So, within a few hours, every cop in the city should have been converging on the T-1000 and the police car. Yet, the officer is never reported missing and the car is never reported stolen.
  
• Factual errors: In the opening scene the semi tractor starts up and immediately drives away. If it had been sitting there for any period of time the driver would have had to wait for the air pressure to build up before he could have released the air brakes and pulled away.
  
• Continuity: When John tells the Terminator, "Now I'm going to go get my mom, and I order you to help me" after the Terminator almost kills the two guys trying to help him, there are three cuts that focus on John handing the gun back to the Terminator. In the first, the hammer is cocked, in the second it isn't, yet in the third when he places it in his waistband it is again.
  
• Revealing mistakes: During the escape from Pescadero, there is a shot from outside the car as the T-1000 swings his crow-bar arm through the shattered back window. The background ends abruptly in the upper right corner of the screen, revealing the edge of the rear projection screen used to film the sequence.
  
• Crew or equipment visible: As the police helicopter flies past the explosion of the Cyberdyne building, a camera and film crew photographing the scene from a different angle are visible at the bottom of the screen.
